If you use the same database, then just use the database connection details from wp-config.php. It seems you can't even SHOW TABLES, not even talking about creating anything yet. The permissions required to SHOW TABLES are much less than those needed to create a table. Something weird is going on and we're going to smack our heads when we realize how simple it really was. ericakadisco on ""Access denied for user" during install?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/access-denied-for-user-during-install#post-11765 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 16:29:05 +0000 ericakadisco 11765@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey Chris, I had created a second bbpress database called bbpress2 to see if that was the problem, which it wasn't. The error message is an older one. The one I'm getting now is in reference to bbpress, not bbpress2 like above. But everything else is the same: <pre><code>bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress'] SHOW TABLES; bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress'] CREATE TABLE bb_forums ( forum_id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, forum_name varchar(150) NOT NULL default '', forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', forum_desc text NOT NULL, forum_parent int(10) NOT NULL default '0', forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default '0', topics bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', posts bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (forum_id) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress'] CREATE TABLE bb_posts</code></pre> Question: can I use the same database as my Wordpress database? I may call my hosting provider to see if there is something wrong with the way mysql databases are set up. Perhaps I can connect but can't create tables? Thanks for all your work on this!

I was sold on wordpress after I read this article: <a href="http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/edge/july2006/articles/article6/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/edge/july2006/articles/article6/</a> I then became a true believer after building my personal site with WP. For Victory Belt I decided to run with WP and was originally going to go with phpBB, then Vanilla, then considered punBB for a bit, then found out about the tight integration with bbPress. The WP community in conjunction with the bbPress community had a huge influence on my decision. I was then sold when I found out about the plugin that automatically creates forum posts (http://dev.mbzeus.net/), for then I realized that the integration and community would only get stronger. I like how light and fast bbPress is, I would like to focus on the discussions and interaction with the community, and I feel these elements would be refreshing in comparison to the other clunky mma bbs out there. And once Dr. Riddoch over at An-Archos creates his media plugin for bbPress, we'll be set. Anyhow, for those interested mma is getting some pretty big traffic, and we are expecting a lot of traffic to our site, for we are releasing books by BJ Penn and Randy Couture in the near future. There is actually a special on MSNBC tonight that is a prime example to the influx of interest in MMA, trailer @: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wF4ib2Ws0E" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wF4ib2Ws0E</a> I just wanted to share, and I am hoping to make bbPress our solution, for I know I am going a bit out on a limb with such new software, but I believe the tree is very strong. Also, our look and feel is created, the site location is currently the category and back-end development. One of my designers just recently started working on the look and feel of the css... just an FYI.

It's also possible that they allow some things in .htaccess and not others. Maybe their solution is to rename all .php files to .php5 (not a good solution IMHO.) A separate issue is if the switch from PHP4 to PHP5 is actually required or if it appears to fix the problem coincidentally. startribe on "tag.php access issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tagphp-access-issue#post-3072 Tue, 09 Jan 2007 19:44:29 +0000 startribe 3072@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thank you again chrishajer & madawaffe, I created a phpinfo.php file and uploaded it to the forum root folder, and the PHP info with and with out the .htaccess file is... PHP Version 4.3.11 I then tried saving the .htaccess file in several different formats including, Mac OS Western, UTF-8, UTF-16, & ASCII, and I was given an internal server error for UTF-8 & UTF-16. I then tried creating an .htaccess directory access and password file with a .htpasswd file, and was given another server error. So I am assuming, that outside of the issue of the tags.php working on php4, that there is an issue with my server in working with a .htaccess file.

We've removed it in later versions; you should not have a .htaccess file in any of your template directories. bbPress should not need PHP5. I'd like to find the cause of this problem and fix it for good for everyone. chrishajer on "tag.php access issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tagphp-access-issue#post-3064 Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:49:58 +0000 chrishajer 3064@http://bbpress.org/forums/ They will not offer to support .htaccess, but that's OK as long as they let you use it. Put that .htaccess (make sure it starts with a period) in your forum root, with the line: <code>AddType x-mapp-php5 .php</code> in it. Then, make sure it's working. Create a file called phpinfo.php in your forum root. Put this into it: <code><?php phpinfo(); ?></code> Then, access that URL <code><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/phpinfo.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoursite.com/forum/phpinfo.php</a></code>. The resultant page will have the PHP version at the top. You want to see PHP5.x.x there, not PHP4.x.x. Try it both with and without the .htaccess to see if it changes. If it's already parsing php files as PHP5, then we have to dig into what's not working. If php files are still being parsed as PHP4, the we need to figure out if the htaccess is working or not, or in the wrong location or something. startribe on "tag.php access issue" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tagphp-access-issue#post-3058 Tue, 09 Jan 2007 07:09:26 +0000 startribe 3058@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thank you chrishajer & madawaffe, I am on BBpress 0.74, and I checked my server settings which are... " Support for PHP 5 With PHP 5 support, you can program using the latest version of this server-side scripting language and take advantage of existing applications and add ons written in PHP 5. You can also run both PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously on the same site. " I also tried uploading an .htaccess file to my forum root with the first line stating: AddType x-mapp-php5 .php And I still received the same error. After that I moved the file to my template directory, and then to my site directory, and I still had the same problem. I thought this was strange because I am receiving the same results as those mentioned in the post chrishajer linked. I then called up my hosting service, Diablo Valley Hosting, which is a reseller of Godaddy, so it was Godaddy support. They then told me that in order to assure php5 I would have to change all of my extensions to ".php5." I asked and .htaccess, and was told that there was a solution, but they couldn't offer support on it. Thank you so much for the help thus far. I am not sure if there is a problem with my .htaccess file or something else, for I entered the line "AddType x-mapp-php5 .php" into the first line of the file.
